Master Shi Heng Yi - 5 hindrances to self-mastery | Shi Heng YI | TEDxVitosha

- Published on Feb 12, 2020
- Meet Shaolin Master Shi Heng Yi in his serene talk about self-discovery. Learn why rainfall is an essential part of each flowering. And every small step - part of the journey to the highest peek. The hindrances along the way to self-discovery and personal growth are easy to overcome. Learn how from his talk. For more than 30 years, Master Shi Heng Yi has been studying and practicing the interaction between mind and body. His strength is the ability to smoothly combine this knowledge with physical exercises and to practice Martial art -Kung Fu and Qi Gong. He has an academic background but he prefers to live at the Shaolin Temple Europe, Monastery located in Otterberg, Germany. Since 2010 he has been taking care of the settlement and he personifies the sustainable development and spreading the Shaolin culture and philosophy. As a contemporary monk, Master Yi holds a smartphone in the folds of his clothes as he sees no contradiction between living together with ancient knowledge and high technology. “The universal law of being successful and happy at the same time means finding the balance”, says master Yi. And as for flying - yes, he really can do it! He only needs a stick and a little space. We expect him to fly-in and share about the Shaolin way at TEDxVitosha 2020.

There are 2 mistakes along the way to mastery
1. Not starting
2. Not going all the way
THANK YOU!!!!
@samson smith he actually talk about in dullness/heaviness hindrance XD
@Joshua Cruse 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
& the most important thing it's all about the peak or the path you want to choose
Thank you so much!
Almost 14 years ago I participated in a program in the Shaolin temple where he used to live. This guy taught me proper meditation and breathing skills and shared his story with me. Absolutely fantastic person with an unbelievable amount of discipline and a mind which is the strongest I've ever encountered. One time the other 3 guys who were in the temple and I couldn't keep up with him and the monks and we fell behind during the morning routine. As punishment we had to do 500 push ups which sounded completely unreal but he said we won't get to eat unless we finished it. He said all this in a very calm voice and we just did it. He taught me how to achieve anything if you're disciplined and calm enough. 非常谢谢师父!
@Katyayni dwivedi no problem. hope you enjoy it. there were a few bubble bursting segments like you gotta know a little bit of martial arts or else they won't really bother with you. it's a whole reality check
@David Romero okk thanks again
@Katyayni dwivedi he does put that in the description. where he says he's just a regular guy and people came to his channel when his real shaolin disciple reacts.
I usually have to type ranton shaolin videos and set them from old to new to watch in order
@David Romero but his video are to much messsy ..apart from shaolin temple his TheXvid channel is full with another videos
@David Romero thankyouuu so much 😊
5 Hindrances
1. Sensual desire (pleasures & distractions)
2. ill will (negative mind)
3. Slothful body & mind (lack of energy, lack of motivation)
4. Restlessness (worry about the future or regret about the past, unable to stay in the present)
5. Skeptical doubt (indecisiveness)
Each of these hindrances is placing a dark cloud on your mind.
Solution: Align and structure your life to prevent these hindrances from arising.
4 Steps to remove these Hindrances
1. Recognize (what state of mind you’re in)
2. Accept (accept and allow situations and people to be the way it is/they are)
3. Investigate (your emotional & mental state) - “why did it come up?” “what is the consequence if I remain in that state?”
4. Non identification (practice “I’m not the body, I’m not mind, I’m not my emotion, I can just see all these 3 aspects about me”)
"All of our lifetimes, all of our lives are too unique to copy the path from someone else" This might be the best quote I've ever heard!
Ty for typing that out I thought I heard past instead of path
he is a very rare one.
03:13 What is important in this lifetime?
05:14 Each individual needs to find the most suitable way to climb that mountain
07:27 The Five Hindrance
09:42 First Hindrance - Sensual Desire
11:08 Second Hindrance - Ill Will
12:16 Third Hindrance - Sloth and Torpor
13:12 Fourth Hindrance - Restlessness
14:08 Fifth Hindrance - Skeptical Doubt
14:58 Let it rain
15:50 Four step method
15:59 First Step - Recognize - What Am I Feeling Right Now?
16:08 Second Step - Accept - Let go
16:24 Investigate Your Emotional and Mental State - Cause? Consequence?
16:40 Non-Identification - I am not the body. I am not the mind. I am not my emotion. My world mirrors these three aspects about me.
17:11 Mind your own business to bring meaning and value into your life
@Travis Schpeltinger thank you🙏❤
It's hindrance not hinderance.
@Mai Anh Vu you're so welcome 😊
Useful to follow and understand, thank you
So basically listen to the whole thing.(if you choose to remove pieces of the picture, how could you see what he means?
Apparently, when you're a Shaolin monk, awesome music emanates from the surroundings whenever you speak.
Cause he a boss like that
Hahaha gold
G@nova_prime Mb
Thinking the xact same fkin thing!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The most important part is practicing. "I am not the body. I am not the mind. I am not my emotion. It's just that I can see all this three aspect about me"
@m/talk you mean God?
@Silvia Mendes I think he means not to get stuck with them. Understanding them and give them their due and not more. You are more than them.
Untethered soul ..a book by Michael singer depicts this so well
@playgamer300 Chidananda rupam Shivoham Shivoham.
@Sally Ironic In India we go one step further.
I am the nature of consciousness and limitless. I am the pure self.
Chidananda rupam Shivoham Shivoham.
This man moves like a lion and speaks straight from his heart.
@Claire your instinct you mean? I saw you were father with capital F. Didn't you mean your dad?
This man remind me of my Father. That's how my Father teach us. He always says Followers your Mind, Heart, Souls Spirt, and Your Instead..
and he punches like Mike Tyson
I’ve already watched this video like 10 times. Every time I listen to it I learn something new. It keeps me moving forward while still accepting the past.
I first watched it about a year ago and much of it seems new even though I just rewatched it a few times again
How is it now
I'm climbing my mountain right now but at the moment it is scattered with distractions and self doubt but I'm doing my best to learn to push through it all. I will make it to the top one day.
If you follow the journey, every hindrance and mastering it, will feel like reaching the peak.
It is and has always been in all of our lives, if we're willing to grow and experience clarity and beating ourselves.
Best wishes to all of you
@Socar Socar thank you. 🙏
and you're definitely not alone on this journey. with God as our guide and our shield, we'll get there.
i was just about to write exactly what you did. Stay strong, and never quit
@M Thank you so much, these are wise words and I will definitely try and follow your advice. Right now on my path I'm trying to reconnect with nature and distant myself from the digital world to rediscover who I am and what I can be.
“You can either experience the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The choice is yours.” - ❤️🔥
I think most people feel the pain of regret first, then have to learn to be disciplined
Love this!
Wayne Dyer?
well said
And the pain of regret is much much heavier than discipline !!!
I like how he still continues after his time is up but no one stops him. Thank yall for that🙏
The truth is one of the most powerful forces. Who can truly stop that?
his presence filled the room, the audience simply mesmerized, the music, the words, the tone of his voice, his feline movements, 18 minutes of enlightenment!
The most humble genius a mind-blowing lecture so far I have witnessing in the TEDx talks.
Wow, this made me cry a bit, going thru a painful breakup and I found so much wisdom in this. This man is so in tune with not only himself, but with the universe that it amazes me and I realize how little I truly understand. Thank you sir.
Took some notes for myself and now sharing them for anyone who might find them valuable :)
5 Hindrances to Self-Mastery
1. Sensual desire (sight/touch/taste/smell/hearing) = Am I addicted?
2. Ill will / aversion = Am I feeling a negative emotion?
3. Dullness / heaviness = Am I unmotivated?
4. Restlessness = Is my mind jumping from though to thought?
5. Sceptical doubt = Am I indecisive?
Rain (is the solution)
Recognise which one you're experiencing
Accept that's what you're experiencing
Investigate why you're experiencing it
Non-identify with that experience: 'i am not the body, i am not the mind, i am not my emotion'
I wish the talk would go on for longer and if he could share stories of people overcoming each of them :)
Thank you for writing this
Thanks…I copied your notes!
@French Fries we all do from time to time. The answer : " let it rain "
And note how it rains- sometimes cloudy, dark and stormy , sometimes heavly pouring, sometimes only drizzling and Sometimes no rain and there's bright sunlight. Desire, anger, apathy, restlessness and doubt are all passing stages of ( untrained) mind ..training is to observe this procession , of transformation, with equanimity .. without getting involved with it/ without feeling guilty/ without wanting to get rid of it.. that's when wisdom arise, about the universal characteristic of our identity of ' self'., impermanence.
Yeah
I am suffering from all the 5 hindrances🤦♂😭
The fact that we get free documentaries on TheXvid by TEDx Talks is truly a gift 👍 👍 👍
It truly is, and yet Billions aren't taking advantage of it...
I've been a Buddhist my whole life. I actually know all these facts but the thing is I never knew how to add the practice of dealing with the hindrances in my day to day life. This is great! Probably the best Ted talk I've come across!
It’s hard and very hard , I think you are missing consistency. “Questioning is a foundation of ability to learn , practice is a process of what you have learn to reality and master is the outcome of constant practice .”
I love this man, his teaching and his advices, the story he tells is beautiful and insightful. I always feel calm, relaxed and satisfied with happiness after this video. It is perfect to watch when you feel down and insecure.
@Brigadier William Wildebeest yo bro
Nice to see my fellow gamer here 🙃
I remember when I first seen this talk, it had only a few thousand views. It makes me very happy to know that many people have been listening and learning from this. It has changed my life. I’m very happy with the way things are going in my life now. I wish you all to be your best self and enjoy life.
i just saw it, just now. Im on my journey now
The amount of control he displays is phenomenal. He remains calm throughout the entire talk and never gets stuck. Not even with one word. Remarkable.
@R Berliner @
He's so "enlightened "..
Yet never smiles🙄🤔🤔🤣🤣
@Salome Chatterjee He speaks from teleprompter. You can see it scrolling on some shots of the audience.
He does have a teleprompter.
@Jonathan yeah that was how I did mine too, you can get reach to him on whatsapp now...him will give you a better solution
I love how he dives straight in and lets his message speak for its self
He's grounded and united, without a single tinge of hurry, worry and forgetfulness, he is sure of every word he utters and every step he takes. What an exemplary person.
yes and it all looks so effortless as well. nothing awkward or forceful. quite mesmerizing
A lot of practice, discipline, meditation
I am thinking of going to his school in Germany to learn some more Qigong
I stayed in Tai Chi Acadamy in Yangshuo China in 2018
I come back to this video every once in a while. It seems like a video that has about every life lesson all in one small lecture.
This is why I've always liked eastern spirituality. So much kindness and compassion.
This person has invested a lot of patience and time training himself. His presence shows strength.
@Tamara M drugs =/= bad
@monky mind if you follow the laws of creater
@monky mind the created has created human with certain properties . . Strength is one of them that one can tap into . .
He is also an MBA
Been watching this 18 mins Tedx Talk for 4 times, and I still get some new insights every time I watch it! One of the best talk ever!
The calmness is what I need the most 😊
This talk has helped me a lot. I can only thank you for making me think in a different perspective. Having to deal with frustrations in my personal and professional life has been a very hard. I hope even more people can hear this, and possibily be inspired as I was.
I have never heard anyone like him, this magical aura is around him 🙏
Laughter helps…
… a person of wise work, admirable advice, calm countenance, now? for me ? & for you all… ? SING A SONG ?
HELP A FRIEND? TELL A JOKE? KISS YOUR KID?
LAUGH IF YOU CAN , but most of all…
KEEP WONDERING& KEEP ON KEEPING ON … & singing🎶walk on / walk on/… learning & wondering /…🌹
All the positive energy flowing through him towards me his words movement is just giving me peace of mind.
"I am not the body. I am not the mind. I am not my emotion."
Thank you for that sir.
This is somewhat similar to Mandukya Upanishad
@Trifle Great explanation
@Richard Munsch denial of existence makes it easier to cope with reality
@Professional Punter You are something much bigger, maybe you are the whole universe.
@galileo77 you just use your body, that is why you speak. You just use your mind, that is why you think. You are not them. They are just part of you. They are not the whole you.
One of if not THE best Ted Talks I have ever heard. Shaolin Mastery is seldom seen mass gatherings, because of its' nature. However, this was exquisite mastery indeed in relating to others in such an intimate and meaningful way. Thank you for this presentation. A very powerful and knowledgeable speaker. 🙏
14:02 "The problem is, there is no time to see clearly anymore".
I'm pretty sure he strategically placed that line for exactly when the timer ran out.
Genius.
This was one of the most inspiring TED Talks that I have seen. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Absolutely wonderful. Encouraging, helpful and inspiring. What a great young man. Had to share this with my family. Thank you
It felt like someone came and analyzed my life in the most accurate yet nonjudgmental way. He is very good at speaking about what he has mastered.
I have heard some of these things before but what matters is the way it is said and this definitely touched my heart. I too am at the foot of the mountain, asking people about what you see at the peak. I too am restless, my mind is a mess, I'm losing motivation, asking myself if I'll be able to do it, asking myself if I should stop even before starting and I too, feel like I'm locked in a cell; even before starting I feel like giving up. But there's something that wouldn't let me. This video showed me what I was looking for, to climb without thinking where I'll end up the next day, all the way up to the peak, to see for myself how it looks like from there.
Also, very impressed by the way he described depression as imprisonment, very accurate.
Parabéns mestre, tudo que aprendemos é pouco, se conhecermos abrangerá tudo. Gratidão 🙏
What is valuable in this lifetime:
Sharing with others
Connection
Training and devopment of the self
Enjoy your time even doing nothing
To find a way and do the things you like to do
This talk was unexpectedly powerful. I expected some wisdom but it actually made an impact on me.
The way he speaks, the way he moves, his gestures, his serenity, his clarity and purposeful words, the invisible wave of energy that seems to emanate from him, sending off an ethereal vibe... My goodness, I want to climb the mountain just to meet him at the peak. I shall see you there one day!
I will climb that mountain and gladly meet you at the peak also.
see u to brother
See you soon💙
I also want to meet all guys at the peak, thank you!
there's no substance to him, an empty vessel
when we are going with our compulsions , He has the capability to just make us feel stable, calm and conscious with his ways of life...
After scrolling and scrolling on youtube I came across this talk and decided to listen to this TED- talk as I am a person who is constantly seeking ways to keep improving myself. I am soo thankful for this talk. Just Impressive. Today is the first time I have heard from him. As of today I will keep following him and put his practices into actions and meet him and other like minded people at the peak of the mountain ⛰.
Thank you for sharing and greetings from the Caribbean island 🏝 🇨🇼 of CURAÇAO
I really needed to hear this today. 🙏 Thank you Master and thank you Universe for sending him our way. We're all connected. 😊😇
Gracias Maestro por inspirarme a mis 61 años a seguir escalando mi propia montaña. Eres un ser de luz. 💓☘️💞🌺
Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.
- Lao Tzu
Yaaaaaaaaass . I'll copy this .thank you 💖
Agree. My wife can easily master me, but she can never change herself😂
“To make whole, be whole” John Butler, “Before you try to change the world, clean your room” Jordan Peterson, “I’m starting with the man in the mirror” MJ, I guess there’s a wisdom in this
If only more westerners understands this.
胜人者有力，自胜者强。
"All our lifetimes, all of our lives are too unique to copy the past of someone else" that hit hard.
Bottom Line: Focus your mind towards your goal and Remove hindrances that could prevent you to achieve it. Don't make hindrances stop you.
Some people appears in my life every day and it doesn't inspire me, it doesn't help me see or change. The master appeared today, now, for the first time, and changed everything - my perception, my breathing, the way I think, speak, feel, and be silent. It is the spirit that I was looking for, that I was waiting for and that I wanted to be my "Guru", guide and guide, in my journey on the mountain. "Thank you" is too little! Reverence, Master!
Namaste! 🙏
do the thing you like
Recognize
Accept
Investigate
Non-identify
climb up the ladder
reach the peak
Sensual mind
Negative mind
Slothful mind
Unsettled mind
Skeptical doubt
"Align and structure your life in a way to prevent these hindrances"
There are 2 mistakes along the way to mastery
1. Not starting
2. Not going all the way
He never said “um” or “so,” any other filler words/sounds. Amazing.
It’s almost as if he was hired to do a Ted talk and prepared for it by memorizing his speech
Always be precise in your speech
@Melanie Liu 2:12
1:11 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫✌🏾
@Melanie Liu I think there are more important things to take from this speech than public speaking skills.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone... ❤️
I learned that I am a master of my own self from watching this. Always have been, learned it all years ago through my own trials. Life has an odd way of allowing you to learn all of this on your own, you just can't let emotion control you; understand that you control it. You have to know that you are not your mind, your mind is a part of you. Your body does not decide how to act based on the two, you control them all simultaneously, forever. You always have...
One day I hope, we all may learn this at a younger age...and be thankful for being in such control.
It's simply amazing, the commonality between Shaolin Buddhist philosophy, techniques and that of Advaita vedanta- Sanatana Dharma (Hindu beliefs). Understandable, as both streams are Dharmic after all. The monk puts the message forth very clearly n succinctly. Om Shanthi.
So much heart felt appreciation to you for sharing this vital information I have been doing breathing and energy exercise for a moment. Now I ve been doing yours. And it is amazing to feel and connect this practice. You have reconnected me to my purpose my heart. Deepest appreciation ❤️ beyond words ❤️ thank you ❤️
Love the way he ended his speech. *If any of you choose to climb the path of Clarity.... I will be glad to meet u at the peak*👌
@Skapelboi clarityhahahaha
Sadu sadu
@rustic35 I don't think I missed your point at all -- I think you missed mine. The reference I made about the peak was to simply point out that the writer meant peak instead of peek. But I then went on to say that it still fit the context. So my point was really about semantics.
@Elizabeth D. I think you missed my point, some people only think of the peak (the end goal) and miss the journey along the way because they're only focused on the end goal.
Focus on what's happening now and the peak will arrive when it's time.
If you spend your whole time wanting the peak, the end, then, you'll suffer and miss the opportunity along the way.
@rustic35 Let me tell you what I've learned thus far (growing up in a cult and fleeing from it a few years ago).
Life is a SERIES of journeys. When you reach the mountain peak, you will KNOW it -- but sometimes it will feel like a pyrrhic victory, because you will be filled with battle scars (figuratively).
And yes -- you will thank your lucky stars that you've reach the pinnacle of THAT journey -- because you know that a new one is about to begin.
So you prepare yourself for your new journey and all of its ups and downs. And you try your best to enjoy it all the way to the top once again.
And each time you reach the mountain peak, you relish the scenery (like Simba did in the Lion King).
So you see, there's nothing wrong with relishing the mountaintop once you get there -- there's a feeling of, "I made it," before you begin your next journey. 😉
Thank you for your wisdom and simple explanation Master
This is so good, I keep recommending it to everyone I know of! My biggest challenge was sensual but I’ve been working on that. Super amazing what happens once you gain clarity
Thank you ted talks I learned self mystery,I discover my life slowly thru meditation and watching all your valuable videos to self mastery.I got enlightened my mind through out this my 19 yrs existing in this world ❤️
-Love from Phillppines
He moves me so with his messages it gives me such a clarity about my life and life in general touch me deep within thank you.. Master🙏🏼🌈💕
I met him personally in Germany last year. Truly a meeting that has left permanent marks on me. The spirit and energy from him is very fascinating.
@Winfried that is your opinion of your encounter with theravadian.. 'the 30 traveller..' it doest reflect the essence..
@CHRISTIAN ANDERS LEARNING CHANNEL You apparently don't understand his points; and I can see why. I would not have either, but fortunately, my sister explained to me. His teaching is not conflicting with
Christianity.
@wiw n thanks, lucid language, words from the heart, I am willing to meet a monk, such a flawless and genuine one
Many monks and meditation masters give out an aura and I think it is because of their true inner calmness that 'transmits' the sense of tranquility and lightness to the audience to let go of the burdens.
That is not a real temple
This is one of the best TED Talks I've heard. Best inspirational video on TheXvid period. Thank you for this, it is so valuable.
Thank you 🙏🏼 for sharing. This was a great life lesson and experience. So powerful 🌱
You speak about all those things I’ve read about them before, in a very simple and clear way to understand! It’s precious to me. Thank you 🤍
Simply amazing. It gets you at whichever point you are at life and reminds you where you missed or what you are missing
"If any of you chooses to climb that path to clarity, I will be happy to meet you at the peak."
I've never heard anything so confident ever before in my life.
Best Ted Talk I've seen.
It made me cry!!! So so sweet and genuine.
@nadeem Asghar yeh because Motorbike is Haram in Islam
@Bas Waaijer You have seen an enlightened person before?
Intense like arrow,
Calm like moon,
confident like lion,
Wisdom like Buddha...
Exactly
You speak about all those things I’ve read about them before, in a very simple and clear way to understand! It’s precious to me. Thank you 🤍
He’s so peaceful and profound. Just want to give this man a big hug 😊❤️
This is a place where I have found light, that I know, if I lose my way, I can come back to this point, and remember where I was heading from here. I can pick A New Path if I like as well. Thank you for making the space with your TED Talk and TheXvid🙏❤
Enjoy your time not doing anything 🙂 I love that. Enjoying something means allowing the heart to open up which allows the universe the opportunity to experience itself fully through you.
I feel Master Shi Heng Yi has told me how I can live again my life stopped on the 4th of march 2019 when my wife passed away suddenly. He has just said how to live again not just exist I will follow what I learnt to day and learn to live again .Thank you so much Master shi Heng Yi
My condolences sir!😔❤️
The same. And I wish you have a great life just keep going and be strong 💖💖💖
Stay strong for her. She would want you to live and be as happy as possible.
very sorry for your lost condolences
"Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankel was a very helpful book for me. Your wife was blessed to have you love her.
Ouvir o mestre é nutrir a alma de esperança de alcançarmos um mundo melhor onde cada indivíduo siga seu verdadeiro caminho e nele encontre lugar para compartilhar o bem comum a todos nós, o amor.
Buddha's teachings help me a lot in a very difficult time I was passing in my life. I am not a practicioner but I watch a lot of their seminars and used a lot of the practices and let me out the mud I was in.
No mud, no lotus
Thank you so much Master Shi Heng Yi! With your words I get so much clarity and I am so happy, that you mastered yourselfe and now teach others how to climb that mountain!
WONDERFUL, Master Shi!!
Thank you! You're indeed a blessing to the disturbed & rudderless souls on this planet! Bless you!!
He is a humble man that can kick our asses and later he would pay the hospital bills too and become your friend.
Jhapali rocks!!
just like an anime character
@Rogue Prophet media i bet it wouldn't be a bacon sandwich though
😊
So Funny But, true at the Same Time!
Thank you so so much master.....such profound wisdom unlocked my mind which was stuck for along long time.....
I'm not my mind
I'm not my body
I'm not my emotions.
That's why I can see this aspects clearly.
Added to my favourites will try to keep his teachings present. :)
Great 👍
I have been understanding myself at 26 ages and when I understand myself completely I will share to all mankind through this program.
“A true master, is an eternal student”
@Dewyu Nohmi Also, you are talking about the Dunning Kruger psychological effect, not the philosophycal quote. Give that a quick Google.
@QBNblue your quote is to be taken metaphorically, nobody ever knew everything, but based on Socrates quote I stated above, if you reach ultimate knowledge, you also reach ultimate lack of knowledge.
@Dewyu Nohmi Socrate's quote is actually "The more I know, the more I realize I know nothing".
@thelordoftime803 He is so beyond all the comments, and titles. He could not care any less what pp call him.
@Dewyu Nohmi i would like to to have a further convo about this. Because this is something I think about a lot
felt the powerlifting my spirit up and I feel so blessed, thank you so much for sharing...needed kind of inspiration..im on the right track!!!bless!!!
"I am not the Body, I am not the mind, I am not my emotions. It's just that I can see all these three aspects about me."
very inspiring!!!I learned a lot. Thank you Master Shi Heng Yi!!!
im watching this after single-handedly destroying 3 of my friendships and hurting a bunch of other ones from some selfish actions i took over the weekend. i truly feel i am at an all time low and at a turning point with how i want to live my life. i cried tears watching this as im realizing my mind is plagued by all 5 of the hindrances he mentioned. i am wrong and i owe it to the ones i've hurt to be better. i hope others have been able to feel impacted by this amazing ted talk as well and that you may bring meaning and clarity into your lives
Yo también llegue a ese punto lo importante es que a partir de ello haga algo
All the best on your journey to combat these 5 hindrances, it's a long and difficult road but just know that you will make it there as long as you don't quit. All the best to you!!!
"If any of you chooses to climb that path to clarity, I would be very happy to meet you at the peak." What a statement. Such a beautiful speech. Thank you sir!
@Aaron Gabrial I am glad you get the joke, bro!
@akatgn It is not so uncommon to be misunderstood, or overly confident. Which beckons me to ask the questions: Which has a longer life expectancy...Knowledge ~ or Love? To point out fault whether in self or others, is it not grounds on which many can stumble? To recognize, accept and love, whether at a distance or intimate; is it not to accept and hold highly? He knows his place is not to point out flaws, just to merely be gentle in his presentation, so he does not himself falter, and to stir the truth into the mix of others. "The apple of my Eye" to love unconditionally is NOT a common yet rare, SO rare of a trait, it is like finding a specific needle in a needle factory full of needles without a thimble~ He is not just trying to help others, but he is trying to GIVE understanding, so that a Collaboration that is Greatly needed may have a better chance to flourish. A simple collaboration from those who "Are" with those "Whom Will". THEN again, There are so many ways to see since man tries his hardest to perceive, yet will not as long as he is bound to his perceptions~ Therefore, indeed. What do I know? ~ Godspeed
@Aaron Gabrial yes im certain. His speech is about personal growth, decisiveness, and clarity. That’s why he said he can’t do it for you or show you the way/path @ 8:40. You have to do it yourself and self catering/tailored. It’s crystal clear. All the 5 hindrances deals with spirituality , mindset, feelings, and nothing physical. They might be a byproduct of the physical state but the obstacle is abstract or mental in origin. Desire, for instance, is a derivative of a positive product from the physical realm of obsession (the joy of seeing, smelling, tasting) or temptation as exampled in the video. The story of the travelers is an example of not to let outside/other factors HINDER your path to clarity. It serves as a transition into his 5 HINDRANCES. For example, the third hindrance is an imprisonment of the mind. Restlessness, again is an “unsettled state “of MIND. Notices it deals with the mind a lot? Anything other than the physical realm, thus I don’t believe the master intends for his audience to take his speech in a literal meaning but think critically and spiritually and applies where it is meaningful for personal growth.
The mountain is definitely the symbolism of an end-goal of your journey in life and its different for everyone. It is specific and personal so you can’t rely on others to tell you, or dictate what it supposed to be. You have to do it yourself. The speech promotes independency, although we live by interdependent connection, if we want to achieve that goal, we have to learn and overcome those 5 hindrances to make it happen, that’s the irony behind clarity, to be able to decipher and be crystal clear in what we want to achieve despite outside stimuli but we first have to do it internally from out state of mind. You can’t love someone if you first can’t love yourself, and neither can you love yourself if you did not recognize and accept who you are.
His speech has endless clues to what I interpret it to mean but if you question my certainty, I can’t give you that satisfaction because it is tailored different for everyone. I can’t speak for its meaning but I believe that’s what he meant. Humbleness and personal interpretation are of different qualities but I hope my interpretation is NOT of a pretentious origin.
There’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance and I hope that mine didn’t come out as the latter.
This is a statement which is meant to show selflessness of heart. He is stating though you may not see me, if our spirits are to meet, and you are truly at the top of this mountain, you as well as I, will embrace each other with warmth and welcome in seeing we are now brothers of light.
@Сергей Высокин Humbleness, is the restraint or imprisonment of ones ego; The purpose of the life journey is not to DESTROY but to LEARN. Without the ego, we cannot have free will~ Thus, we must learn to put the ego Behind us, so that way we may see with clarity.

We are lucky to have master Shi Heng Yi speak to us with great spirit and excellent communication skills. I have spent most of my life studying martial arts and the way of Shaolin. I have spent time training at the Shaolin temple in China and have even had the great pleasure of meeting the Abott.
Everything I do with my career my passions, my hobbies express the things I have learned from Shaolin.
I am so grateful to have experienced and learned from this way of life!
When he said "LET IT RAIN" It was so calming dat I had tears in my eyes
I know I personally have to work on the five states that he is referred to. I am very grateful for his beautiful teachings and the recommendation by my dad!
I’m studying acupuncture as part of my healing journey and I’m enlightened by this
Discipline always look so good on people. Very powerful aura...
Because a disciplined person is a self-loving person
@Comicaze247 your loan problem could also be indirectly solved by you creating a service, and then everybody loved this creation, and you get money. Mula the biproduct of flowing!
They are lost, and they are Scare, and weak. I’ve been there, learn how to master your body, and the mind will follow, have self ( be a designer of self) that is the richest life, we need masters, not things. TheXvid have all the answer. Dig and it’s your for the asking♥️🙏😇
Weirdly enough, this line just resonated powerfully, i wanna write it and stick it on my desk.
@Banglu - when did i judge finacially poor people, when did i say I was rich, You rushed through the thread and didnt read it properly and you raced to rebuke me when you didn even comprehend the conversation properly. You just jumped in and starting blurting.
Love this very insightful 🙌
Beautiful and powerful at the same time. Thank You Master Shi Heng Yi.
Great talk! Master Shi Heng Yi is a very wise man! I needed to hear this today! 😊
Master Shi Heng Vi- I enjoy your lecture on the 5 hindrances in life. Its helps me to look into my life. Yes, if ones don't get out of someone negatives n controlling habit then. one is not able to get a chance to see life for themselves
They will depends on that person to tell them what to do. Thank you so much.
When he said: " I am not my body. I am not my mind. I am not my emotions. " i felt baptized. 💛🙌💫
If this phrase resonated with you, you should try the "Isha Kriya" meditation.
They make up what is you but they are not you, you must be able to detach or take a step back so you do not get over indulged and drown by it. Just like how some people perform insane actions due to adrenaline, it is because their mind is fogged. For the more violent events at least.
Buddha always taught about the idea of treating your body as a shell for your being than actually you.
You might want to read 'solve for happy'. Mo gawdat discusses this in his book as well, in a way that helped identify myself a little bit more.
Me too felt enlighten you
